WOrd.TWjstings.

my dear boy" once asked head
master OF a philistine member of his
sixth form, do you mean to say that
you have never heard of that magnifi-
cent statue of Michael Angelo by
Moses?" Clergymen seem especially
addicted to this habit, perhaps because
their excessive anxiety to be correct
renders them nervous, and to those of
their congregation who are gifted, for
tun ately or unfortunately, with keen
sense of the ridiculous, such slips are
excessively trying from the improperly
OF openly testifying appreciation. Scr
row may endure for JOY" so an Irish
Clergyman is reported to have read
with the utmost feeling; but night
cometh in the morning!" With the
transposition of initial letters q new
field of solecism is opened up, in which
living cleric, in other respects intelli-
gent and accomplished, works with an
involuntary assiduity that is most up
setting to his hearers. "My brethren"
so ran one of his most startling an
nouncements, "we all know what it is to
have halfwarmed fish ii. e., half
formed wish in our hearts" With
him, however, the mischief goes fur
Their, extending to the mutual entangle-
ment of words, which is terrible to
contemplate. He has been known to
speak of "kinquering congs," and on one
occasion, ever memorable to his inter
locutor, addressing himself to q gentle
man who had intruded upon his seat 81
church. he politely remarked. Pardon
me, sir, but / think you are occupew-
ing my pie" Here we are next door
to the carrying out of the portmanteau
principle, a proximity illustrated by
the feats of two other clergymen, one
of whom gave out his text from "the
Colostle TO the Epissians, while the
other read "knee of an idol" for "eye
Of a needle" The rector of an Irish
country parish, whose church the writ
er has frequently attended, was liable,
out of nervousness, to comfort and en-
tangle his words in strange fashion.
Thus. we have heard him speak of the
"imperfurities' of man, when it was
quite obvious that he could not make
up his mind between "imperfections"
and impurities, and ended by ANAL
gamating the two words into one.

Cornwall Tin.

Dolcoath is the name by which the
oldest and the deepest tin mine in the
world is known. 1t Is situated at Cam
borne, in the west of Cornwall. In the
early part of the present century it
was noted for its enormous production
of copper ore, the sales of this mineral
having amounted to about $4,000, 600.
1t now produces tin only. In the inter-
val between copper and tin, about the
years ls53-55, a period in the sinking
when the two minerals were so blended
that they could not be separated so as
to make them marketable, the whole
mine could have been purchased for
$4,000. The market value of the same
to-day is G470,000 ZOO shares at
Gl00 EACH; so that each sum of $50
invested in II thirty years ago is now
worth 1000, and receives dividends
amo uniting to about $500 year, The
produce for some two or three years
past has been forty to fifty tons of tin
per week, obtained chiefly from one of
the eight or ten lodes i'll the mine.

The HONEYMOON.

1t may not be generally known that
the word honeymoon" is derived from
the ancient Teutons, and means the
drinking for thirty days after marriage
of metheglin, mead, or hydromel, a
kind of wine made from honey. Attila,
a celebrated King of the Huns, who
boosted of the appellatlon, The
Scourge of God" is said to have died
on his nuptial night from an uncommon
efiusion of blood, brought on by in
dulging too freely in hydromel at his
wedding feast. The term honeymoon"
now signifies the first month after mar
riage, or so much of it as is spent from
home. John Tobin, in "The Honey
moon," thus refers to it,
This truth is manifesto gentle wife
Is still the sterling comfort of n mans life
To fools "a torment but lasting boon
To those who wisely keep the honeymoon.

All were awfully disappointed.

Next day, Charley sat and looked at the
gold long time then, as IL some thought
had suddenly occurred to him. he sprang
up, and singing his rifle across his back,
started up the slope.
He made his way directly to the spot
where the spring dubbed out from beneath
a mass of vines, ut the foot of a huge wall
of rock. For several minutes he stood
looking keenly at it. then STOPPING, caught
them in his hand and drew them to one side.
revealing an opening large enough to admit
n cart.
A satisfied II thought so;" then, it being
light, he stepped boldly in, finding room TO
walk easily beside the stream. 1t was no
cave, as Charley had expected, for only n
rod or so and he came out into another ra-
vine, narrower than the other, ana piled
here and there with huge rocks. Stunted
pines grew along its sides, and it was so
dark and gloomy that he hesitated ere en-
tering. But only for q moment; then he
slowly made his way up il, looking, always
looking, for the CLEAN of the precious
metal.
Several tiny nuggets rewarded him. and
he toiled on. Half mile up pile OF
huge powders formed n perfect barrier to
further progress. the stream dubbed
from beneath them, and Charley was sure
there was valley beyond.
Resting while, he looked about. What
wild, gloomy place. The boy was half
afraid. 1t was iairly dusky in the ravine,
but scarcely past midday outside. hor-
ror of the place crept over him, and, spring
ing up from his seat on a stone, he began
climbing the barricade, being determined
TO see what lay beyond before starting back
to cImp.
Not so difficult climb as he had ex-
pected. Reaching the top, he saw long,
deep valley living before him, and throwing
an arm about tall, slender sapling, he
leaned far over to inspect the place as
closely as he could. So deep, dark and hor-
rible looking was it, that he drew back In
dismay.
II never will go down there, he NUT
tered.
Suddenly he heard familiar rafting
sound behind him, while he still stood gaz-
ing, fascinated by the dismal scene. With a
yell of horror he turned.
There, not six feet away, coiled ready
for the spring, was huge rattlesnake.
An instant's Mortified inaction, then with
another yell, he began shining up the
slender tree. IL was too small TO bear his
weight, but he did not think of it until too
late.
"Oh, Lord :" cried poor Charley, as it
bent far out over the dark valley and be-
gan to slip through his hands.

Experimental Yellow Fever.

DR.. Carlos Finlay, of Havana, has
published the results of several expert
ments he has made on the inoculability
of yellow fever. He performed the OPP
GRAFTON, or rather got 1T performed for
him, by mosquitoes, which he caused
first to sting a patient suffering from
yellow fever and shortly afterward a
healthy person who was to be with his
own consent, of course) the subject of
the experiment. He found that the
disease was only inoculable from the
third to the sixth day. When two
mosquitoes were employed, so that e
double dose was given, the symptoms
of the experimental disease was more
than when only single musluito was
used. OF eleven cases of incubation,
six were elicacious. one doubtful, and
four negative. Tho period of incuba-
ton varied from five to fourteen DAYS
the symptoms consisted of headache,
pyrexia, injection, with sometimes an
icteric tint of the on ,unC tiya, and in
some cases albuminuria. The fever
lasted, as in the ordinary form, from
five to twenty-one days. The author
believes that this method of producing
artificial yellow fever will ultimately
be found very valuable as a propby-
Tactic against the natural and danger
Gus form of the disease.-LdnCet

AT the beginning of March the gar
dens OF Egypt are really wonderful (;
the orange and lemon trees spread
their most pungent odor; the rose
trees are covered with innumerable
flowers; the palms. with their green
and white crowns, swing there in the
wind; the oleanders there border the
avenues on the lawns anemones, an
nual and perpetual towering pinks,
chrysanthemums, violets, zinnias, peri
wrinkles, snap-dragons, mignonette,
pansies, and petunias blend their in
Vulnerable colors with the green of
the trees, bushes, and shrubs. Groups
of bamboos lift here and there their
long green or golden stems, drowned
with an immense plume of pretty little
trembling leaves. One comprehends on
seeing these stems, which assume in q
few months enormous proportions, the
cruelty ingenious punishment of the
Chinese IL binding criminal to a
young bamboo. The plant grows and
the wretch is quartered in few weeks.
No wood is lighter or more useful than
that of the bamboo. One does not un-
derstand why the Egyptians neglect
to Plant it along the canals and on
every cultivated land, where it
grows so well. But what gives, at
least during winter and spring, the
most smiling aspect to the Egyptian
gardens are the great sheets of rose
bouga nvilles that cling to the walls,
the trees and groups of foliage, and
which display everywhere the varied
and exquisite tint of their flowers. The
bougainville is certainly the finest of
climbing plants. During five months
1T flowers under the winter sun, takes
shades of extreme delicacy-one might
say light rose trait, the intensity of
which every play of light varies. The
aloes, the agave, attach themselves on
rocky slopes. On the banks of the
water courses the blue lotus, and the
papyrus still revive antique reminis-
cences. Grass cannot be raised in
Egypt. The layer of soil is so thin
that the sun dries it up Immediately,
and unless the grass is constantly sub
merged it turns yellow and perishes at
once. 1t is not the heat alone that
produces this result, for there is very
much fine grass in the tropics but the
of the soil, renders the culture of grass
impossible in Egypt 1t is with diff
Guilty that few isolated blades of
grass sprout during winter along the
Nile and the canals; they disappear
as soon as the spring begins, so that
everywhere in the country where arti-
fetal cultivation finishes the dry and
bare desert begins. In the place of
grass apretty little verbenacea is used,
and this is encountered everywhere,
the same as grass Is encountered in
America. -ErC oklyn Magazine.
